E-LARS for Swire

摘要

Kongsberg Evotec, Norway, reports it is to deliver its new mobile launch and recovery system (E-LARS) for remotely operated vehicles to subsea support company Swire Seabed in August 2013. Based near Bergen, Norway, Swire Seabed provides services across the entire subsea spectrum, including construction support, work and observation ROV services and geotechnical, seismic, trenching, dredging, decommissioning and renewables support. "Designed for the safe launch and recovery of ROVs, Kongsberg Evotec has, through its development of E-LARS, placed great emphasis on safety and security for both the operator and equipment," said a company spokesman, adding that technical highlights of the E-LARS system include the use of permanent-magnet motor technology and a low requirement for on-going maintenance.
